I started cycling a month ago. I do it just once a day for about 45 minutes to an hour. I may be mistaken but I feel the rigidity is less than what it was in the early days of cycling. I give about 12 to 15 pumps (less pressure).
The length is also an 11/2 inches less than it was pre-surgery. I feel envious reading posts that one can hang a towel on it.
Bio bros, what can I do about this rigidity issue -it is stiff no doubt--but I am not satisfied.
Btw, the surgeon will be doing a small revision next month to trim off the excess tubing close to the shaft

Re: rigidity issue
Doctors are different and have different activation and cycling protocol's. So you should be following your doctors instructions for this or asking if you can be more aggressive.
You might want to create a signature like I have done so we can see what type of device you have and when you had your surgery. And any other info that might help us with giving you a answer. It just takes a lot of time to ask and for you to answer the same questions over and over.
Some things it could be is the device softening, and swelling going down. One member posted that an AMS rep told him to pump to max then wait 5 minutes and add more pump(s). Then repeat again and stop. But I do not know how far along that man was and you need to heal completely before being too aggressive with cycling or you can cause damage. Other men on this site have had the stiches fail in the Tunica and cylinders have come out. In most all cases the number of pumps to max will increase during early cycling. And you stated you have a tubing issue also. Have you talked with your doctor about this?
Once you are fully healed and released by your doctor you can try aggressive cycling. You might also ask your doctor about VED use. Both of these can help with size loss. Not a for sure thing but they do help some of us. But wait until fully healed so as not to cause any damage or infection.
